The first Jordan was made for Michael Jordan, who played for the Chicago Bulls on November 17th, 1984. The shoes were released to the public on April 1st, 1985. They were designed by Peter B. Moore, and released during Jordan's sophomore season with the Chicago Bulls. The Jordan 1 Royal was never worn by Michael Jordan on an NBA court. The number 1 brand at this time for big-name basketball players was Converse. Famous players who wore converses were Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Rookie basketball player Michael Jordan revolutionized basketball shoes by bringing in Jordans. Also, the company didn’t want to even name the company Jordan because he had played his first full season, and every time he wore them in a basketball game the NBA and Jordan would fine him $5,000 because it didn’t match the color scheme.
Nike expected to sell 3 million dollars in Jordans the first they came out. The first year sales soared to 1-6 million dollars. The fact that Jordan was fined for wearing Jordans, made people want to buy them more. Jordans have dominated the shoe industry because of Michael Jordan inventing them. He promoted luxury. Over 37 versions of the Nike Jordans have been created and designed. Wearing Air Jordans became a status symbol for shoe wear. In other words, everyone has to have Jordans to look cool. Michael Jordan has been retired for over 20 years from the NBA.

Love the topic choice but be sure to include your personal thoughts and opinions. You didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points and it was over a week late.
I am not sure what I would call them but they would probably be priced between $150 and $200. It was important to the team colors. The highest price I would pay for a pair of Jordans is probably $200 at the most.
I'm not sure what I would call them but if I were to price them it would be a little over $100 maybe $125. The colorway is important because they want you to represent your team's colors and not other teams' colors. The most i would pay for a Jordan shoe is $175.
If I were to make new Jordans I don't think I would be able to pick a specific name but I wouldn't price them too high just so that they're affordable for everyone. The color scheme is important so you can tell what team the shoes are based on. I would probably pay $150.
If I were to invent a new pair of Jordans, I would call them “Soar" and price them at around $150. The color scheme was important to the NBA because they don't want you wearing a shoe that doesn't have a lot of your teams main color on it.
I think that the color scheme for the NBA is important because it shows everyone that they are all a part of a team. If someone's shoes are a different color people will notice that the team is not coordinating. I prefer to not spend a lot of money so if I was going to buy a pair of Jordans they would have to be under $100, so on sale.
If i could make a new pair of Jordans it would be based off the Jordan 4's and then the names would be based off their color. Because of the teams the NBA players play on. The highest price I would pay for Jordans would probably be around $200 to $250 but only if I really like them.
If I could create Jordans I think I would make them Jordan 4's with light blue and my name on the back. I think a color scheme is important to the NBA because they want the shoes to match the team colors. The highest price I ever payed for Jordans were 345.
If I could create my own shoes I don't know what would create, but if I did I would not make them that expensive because it's just a pair of shoes. I don't know why the color scheme is so important. I would not pay more than 150 dollars because it is just shoes.
If I could create a new pair of jordans I would base the name off all the colors and details. My prices would probably be around $100 dollars. The highest price I would pay for jordans is around $150 because it is just a pair of shoes.
